    CXL Horsehide VS. Vicenza

    Another solid option - I was just settling on CXL Horse, and now I am reminded of this. Do you know if the "Jerky" HH is Chromexcel, or some other type? Is the color as rich as CXL, or more even like Vicenza? That cross zip (bootlegger?) is stunning - is that Horse or Steer? It looks like...

    CXL Horsehide VS. Vicenza

    This is a fair point. It's hard not to feel like "thickness=quality", and also the opposite. So many things these days are thinner or made from poor materials. I am personally struggling with the cachet and mystique of horse vs the more supple hand of steer. As the latter is concerned...

    CXL Horsehide VS. Vicenza

    This was my experience exactly. I am not opposed to wearing heavy jackets, but the Vicenza was so easy to move in. Good points - I do get the impression that with Vicenza what you see is what you get and it doesn't change much in appearance. I am surprised there isn't more of a difference in...

    CXL Horsehide VS. Vicenza

    Thanks for all the replies everyone - I am pleasantly surprised by the response. I am surprised how many of you recommend the CXL Steer. I owned a CXL steer Highwayman briefly, and it was beautiful, but I remember it being super thick and heavy. Do you guys feel like the Steer ages more...

    CXL Horsehide VS. Vicenza

    Good to know that CXL is worth the effort. This was a big part of my curiosity - how does Vicenza look after you've had it a while. It sounds like it stays about the same appearance wise, while CXL will change more with use. Great post - thank you. Would you go with Steer or Horse CXL...

    CXL Horsehide VS. Vicenza

    Hey all, It's been a while since I posted here. I have been working on an order with Aero for the first time in years, and sorting out my options. My plan was to use Chromexcel Horsehide, but I recently got to try out a jacket in Vicenza Horsehide and I was really impressed. I love the...

    Vanson Enfield 44-46 Octagon Brown

    THIS ONE IS SOLD, PAID FOR, AND SHIPPED. THANKS! Hey all, Weight loss has struck, and my beloved Enfield just doesn't fit any more. It's a tagged size 46, but the measurements are spot on for the size 44 I used to own. I think it might bridge the gap between a 44 and a 46 for some people...

    New Custom Vanson Oxford in Octagon

    The Octagon color varies a lot from batch to batch. I had a really orangey/grainy Octagon jacket a few years back, and now I have one that is darker and more uniform, much like yours. Great jacket by the way - it looks fantastic.
